I plan to end my Facebook account before January 19. I like the format and would like something similar in the Fediverse. Also, I need a good Facebook alternative I can show people when trying to convince them to leave Facebook.

So what is the best Facebook alternative as of 2025? Frendica, Diaspora or Pleroma? Or something new and promising?

Facebook Marketplace is my favorite part of Facebook. Thoughts about what might replace that?

Not ironically craigslist never went away in some places.

I think the number of scammers went way up though

That also applies to FB marketplace

Same here. A fediverse alternative seems like a no brainer. Weird if there are no commercial apps already.. Probably an easy way to get VC.

Mercuri seems to be becoming more popular

Right up until it asks for ID, which you have to use the app for, and even if you send it nothing happens and your account remains disabled.

Ask me how I know. And that was for my very first purchase.
